SNOW TYRES
Use snow tyres of the same size as the normal tyres
provided with the car.
Lancia Dealership will be happy to provide advice
concerning the most suitable type of tyre for the
customer’s requirements.
For the type of tyre to be used, inflation pressures
and the specifications of snow tyres, follow the
instructions given in paragraph “Wheels” in section
“Technical specifications”.
The winter features of these tyres are reduced
considerably when the tread depth is below 4 mm.
In this case, they should be replaced.Due to the snow tyre features, under normal
conditions of use or on long motorway journeys, the
performance of these tyres is lower than that of
normal tyres. It is therefore necessary to limit their
use to the purposes for which they are certified.
IMPORTANT When snow tyres are used with a max
speed index below the one that can be reached by
the car (increased by 5%), place a notice in the
passenger compartment, plainly in the driver’s view
which states the max permissible speed of the snow
tyres (as per EC Directive).
All four tyres should be the same (brand and track)
to ensure greater safety when driving and braking
and better driveability.
Remember that it is inappropriate to change the
direction of rotation of tyres.

CAR INACTIVITY
If the car is to be left inactive for longer than a
month, the following precautions should be noted:
❒park the car in covered, dry and if possible well-
ventilated premises;
❒engage a gear;
❒check that the handbrake is not engaged;
❒disconnect battery terminals (first disconnect the
negative terminal) and check the battery charge.
This check is to be repeated every three months
when the car is left inactive. Recharge if the
optical indicator shows a dark colour without the
central green area;
❒clean and protect the painted parts using
protective wax;
❒clean and protect the shiny metal parts using
special compounds readily available;❒sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber
windscreen and rear window wiper blades and
lift them off the glass;
❒slightly open the windows;
❒cover the car with a cloth or perforated plastic
sheet. Do not use sheets of non-perforated plastic
as they do not allow moisture on the car body to
evaporate;
❒inflate tyres to +0.5 bar above the normal
specified pressure and check it at intervals;
❒if you don’t disconnect the battery from the
electric system, check its charge every month
and recharge it if the optical indicator shows a
dark colour without the central green area;
❒do not drain the engine cooling system.

GLOW FLAT TYRE WARNING LIGHT (where provided)
The instrument panel warning light comes on (together with the
dedicated message on the display and the buzzer), when the pressure
of one of more tyres falls below the preset threshold. In this way the
T.P.M.S. system will warn the driver that there is/are tyre/s
dangerously flat (risk of punctured tyre/s).
IMPORTANT If a tyre is punctured, stop immediately to safeguard car
driveability. Avoid sharp braking and steering. Replace immediately
the punctured tyre with the space-saver spare wheel (where provided)
or repair the punctured tyre using the kit provided for the purpose
(see section “In an emergency”) and contact Lancia Dealership as
soon as possible.

❒make sure the compressor switch D is set to 0 (off), start the engine
and fit plug A into the nearest current outlet and then turn on the com-
pressor by setting switch D to I (on). Inflate the tyre to the pressure
specified in paragraph “Inflation pressure” in section “Technical Spec-
ifications”.
Check tyre pressure on gauge F with compressor off to obtain pre-
cise reading;
❒if after 5 minutes it is still impossible to reach at least 1.5 bar, disen-
gage compressor from valve and current outlet, then move the car forth
for approx. ten metres in order to distribute the sealing fluid inside the
tyre evenly, then repeat the inflation operation;
❒if after this operation it is still impossible after 5 minutes to reach at
least 1.8 bar, do not start driving since the tyre is excessively damaged
and the quick tyre repair kit cannot guarantee suitable sealing, con-
tact Lancia Dealership;

WARNINGApply the sticker in a visible position for
the driver to indicate that the tyre has
been treated with the quick tyre repair
kit. Drive carefully especially when
cornering. Do not exceed 80 km/h. Avoid
heavy braking and accelerating.
WARNINGIf the pressure falls below 1.8 bars, do not
drive any further: the quick tyre repair
kit Fix & Go automatic cannot guarantee
proper hold because the tyre is too much
damaged. Contact Lancia Dealership.
